—-Thanks and a big hello to you :)
hartschaotica asked: Could you recommend a few good books for me?
I love the Hunger Games trilogy, but I’m about to finish it and I need something satisfying afterward. I usually ever read teen novels. My favorite book series is the Vampire Chronicles (Anne Rice), I’m typically not a vampire fan but through a bit of morality and beauty into a book and I’ll take you up on it.
—-If you haven’t read True Blood series yet, you might consider reading them since you like Anne Rice. I haven’t read Anne Rice but i am familiar with her thanks to the film Interview with the Vampire. And True Blood books also work for me. I like them because they are quite funny actually :)
I haven’t read Hunger Games yet and I’ll see what all this fuss about when I get the books.
Hmm what else should I say? As well as I can list you the popular choices like Neil Gaiman, Salinger, J.K.Rowling, Markus Zusak and Roald Dahl, people mostly recommend me the books of Orson Scott Card, Cornelia Funke and John Green who I would like to read sometime. Lord of the Flies, The Life of Pi, Anne of Green Gables, Kite Runner, Angela’s Ashes are some books I think many young adult readers could also like.You might also use this site: http://bookseer.com
alabdin asked: Hello! I understand from following your blog for the last couple of months that you are Turkish. Do you recommend any contemporary Turkish novels translated to English? The genre of the novel does not matter. The question of genre does not stand. I tend to be a quality-oriented reader rather than a genre-oriented one. Thanks in advance!
—-Beside Orhan Pamuk, the books of Yasar Kemal and woman writers Elif Shafak, Asli Erdogan and Buket Uzuner were translated into English as I know. Uzuner is not really my favorite but I used to love Shafak’s books very much before. Although her latest books seriously disappointed me, I can recommend her first ones The Flea Palace, The Saint of Insipient Sanities and The Gaze. There is a lot of mysticism in her novels. For Aslı Erdogan, I can recommend her book The City in Crimson Cloak that she depicts Brazilian streets in a chaotic way. Poems of Nazim Hikmet and Latife Tekin’s Berji Kristin: The Tales from the Garbage Hills are also remarkable.
There are many Turkish writers I really want to see translated into English and I wish more people could read them. Especially Mehmet Eroglu, Sabahattin Ali and Oguz Atay. As I know, these writers haven’t been translated into English but not quite sure though.
